From the reviews
BJJ mom here! Grit Jiu Jitsu is a WELL TRUSTED facility. Structured coaching, positive reinforcement, and overall respectful and kind leadership. My family and I hold Grit near and dear to our hearts because of their values. Grit Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai is truly something special.
Absolutely worth the 12 mile each way drive to be a part of this gym! My daughter(8yrs) loves the kids BJJ classes and is learning so much! It’s been great to see her building the skill with the guidance from the amazing staff. Coaches Elizabeth and Sam have been excellent guidance for her.
Grit is beyond phenomenal. I've wanted to try Muay Thai for a long time and am at a point in my life where it's something I needed to do so I tried a drop in class. I was incredibly nervous, so nervous I almost didn't do it but I'm so glad I did. Everyone was so welcoming and made sure I had a great time.
Grit has been such a wonderful place for our whole family. My husband and boys started out doing jui jitsu 5 years ago. My husband has lost lots of weight and made so many friends at the gym. The boys have made lifelong friendships with the kids from jui jitsu classes.
New to muay thai? Start at GRIT JIU-JITSU & MUAY THAI Martial Arts
GRIT JIU-JITSU & MUAY THAI Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at GRIT JIU-JITSU & MUAY THAI Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
